About the Book

There are times when you know you just need to cut down a bit, reduce your outgoings, keep a bit of a rein on the amount you spend. Yet for most of us, that makes us feel downright depressed even before we start. But reducing your spending doesn’t mean taking the fun out of life. Oh no. If you’re clever about it, life can be just as good – it just costs you less. This is the book to show you how, in Richard Templar’s inimitable blend of originality, wisdom, practicality and funny straight talking.

 

With the current world financial situation, things are going to be tight for a while for many of us – even if they weren’t already – and we’ll need to find ways to make sure the money we have goes further.

 

How to Spend Less… without being miserable is full of techniques and strategies for cutting down on expenditure. As you’d expect with Templar, there’ll be loads of common sense with a quirky take and plenty of fun.
